LimeWire Unveils AI Music Studio: Advancing the Vision of an AI-Powered Audio Workstation

LimeWire

LimeWire, renowned for its pioneering role in peer-to-peer music sharing, today announced its latest foray into the generative AI space with the launch of the LimeWire AI Music Studio. This groundbreaking platform, which allows users to effortlessly create fully ownable AI-generated tracks, marks LimeWire’s second significant investment toward strengthening its AI offering and builds on its September acquisition of AI image generator platform BlueWillow. The LimeWire AI Music Studio introduces a revolutionary, easy-to-use interface that empowers individuals, regardless of their experience, to become music artists. What makes LimeWire’s advancement in the music AI space even more groundbreaking is the combination of generative AI tools across different content types. Users will now, for the first time, be able to generate full-length tracks, create cover images for their work, and publish them all on a single platform. It also incorporates open-source AI technologies, enabling users to retain ownership of the music they create, in contrast to competitors that only offer creation capabilities without ownership rights or rely on Discord communities and complex prompts, limiting users' creative potential. This user-friendly approach reflects LimeWire's commitment to democratizing the creative space, making advanced AI tools accessible to everyone. "The launch of LimeWire AI Music Studio represents a groundbreaking technological milestone, symbolizing not only a stride forward in our pursuit of innovation but a profound commitment to fostering creativity within the dynamic landscape of modern content creation," said Paul Zehetmayr, co-CEO of LimeWire. "As music continues to evolve, so does our dedication to providing aspiring musicians with cutting-edge tools that empower and amplify their artistic expression." The studio's debut lays the foundation for LimeWire's continuous, comprehensive product development plan, aiming to launch a fully-fledged AI-enabled audio workstation in 2024. LimeWire envisions a future where anyone can be a music artist producing full-length tracks, from beats and melodies to lyrics and editable singing voices. This commitment aligns with LimeWire's overarching mission to provide users with best-in-class advanced AI tools, fostering a community of creators who can bring their artistic visions to life. Similar to LimeWire's acquisition of BlueWillow, which marked the convergence of shared vision and innovation, LimeWire’s AI Music Studio combines the strengths of its existing AI Studio interface with advanced generative AI technology. This synergy aims to redefine AI-driven content creation and creativity, placing LimeWire at the forefront of this rapidly evolving generative AI landscape. "Our platform is designed to break down barriers, allowing aspiring musicians and creators to unleash their potential with the power of AI. As we venture into the future of music, it is our firm belief that AI technology should be a catalyst for inclusivity, empowering aspiring musicians from all walks of life,” added co-CEO of LimeWire, Julian Zehetmayr. “By providing accessible AI tools, we aim to level the playing field, ensuring that traditional resource constraints no longer hinder the creative journey.” Looking ahead, LimeWire envisions a vibrant community around its AI Music Studio, where creators can not only share their work but also monetize it. LimeWire's commitment to democratizing the digital creative space extends to the AI-generated music realm, providing users with unprecedented opportunities to earn revenue from their creations. ABOUT LIMEWIRE LimeWire is a leading AI Studio for image, music and video content creation and social platform for content creators, artists and musicians.

News Release

Kaleo Forecasts 40% Price Pump For Floki; BONK and Meme Moguls Hits New All-time High

Total Media

A pseudonymous crypto analyst known as @CryptoKaleo on X has predicted that Floki will rise 40%. Meanwhile, BONK and Meme Moguls have set a new price record. Analysts have also predicted that the value of Meme Moguls will rise by 100x, making it among the top altcoins to watch. Let’s see why these tokens are up. >> Can You Predict The Next 1000x Meme Coin? Become A Meme Mogul Today << Can Floki (FLOKI) Rally 40%? On Wednesday, a pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Kaleo, @CryptoKaleo, predicted a 40% surge for Floki, a meme coin. Kaleo compared Floki and a meme coin based on Solana called BONK. The analyst noticed a consistent pattern in Floki’s recent price changes. To emphasize the similarities, Kaleo provided a short-term technical analysis comparing the breakout models of BONK and Floki. According to them, “the structural similarities are quite evident. A 40% increase in Floki price would not be surprising, considering it would still be 20% below its all-time high.” According to data from CoinMarketCap, the Floki price has jumped 25.6% on the 7-day chart from $0.00003233 to $0.00004431. BONK (BONK) Overtakes FlokI Inu’s Market Cap BONK (BONK), a dog-themed cryptocurrency token built on the Solana blockchain, has experienced tremendous growth. It currently holds a position among the top three “dog-themed coins” based on market cap. As of December 8, data from CoinMarketCap showed that BONK has a market cap of $753 million. Floki, on the other hand, has a market cap of $385 million. The token’s trading volume has seen double-digit gains in the past week. The price of BONK has seen growth of 956.0% in the previous month, a 1,800% surge from late October to late November. On the weekly chart, the price of Bonk has soared 203.8%, reaching a new all-time high of $0.00001251 on December 8. BONK’s notable success is due to the resurgence of its parent network, Solana. The token has recovered in 2023 from its 2022 crisis. Meme Moguls (MGLS) Does Not Depend On Hype, Unlike Floki and BONK Meme Moguls (MGLS) has positioned itself as the best crypto investment by merging memecoins and play-to-earn gaming into a single platform. Unlike most memecoins, MGLS derives its value from real-world uses rather than relying solely on hype. It serves as both an in-game currency and a governance token within the Meme Moguls ecosystem. Within the ecosystem, community members and friends can also arrange tournaments on the Meme Moguls platform and engage in simulated investment games. These tournaments can range from casual fun to featuring prize pools and entry fees, fostering collaboration among users while providing opportunities to win prizes and rewards. This aspect positions Meme Moguls as the preferred choice for those seeking entertainment and potential rewards, often dubbed the best crypto investment. This strategic approach is anticipated to drive demand for Meme Moguls’ native token, MGLS, even higher. Meme Moguls seamlessly incorporates NFTs into its ecosystem. As a result, users can purchase and sell rare NFT characters that enhance trading capabilities and improve trading conditions. Importantly, the rarer the NFT, the more favorable the conditions, including leverage and spreads. The value of the MGLS token currently stands at $0.0021. Market experts have projected a 100x price increase during the presale. Conclusion In summary, the top altcoins to watch out for more gains are Floki, BONK, and Meme Moguls. However, Meme Moguls is the only meme coin with utility on the list. This has fueled the increased interest in the project.

Crypto Analyst Ali Martinez Makes a Bullish Cardano Price Prediction; Everlodge To Combine AI Technology With Real Estate Investment

Total Media

Recently, the prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez made a bullish Cardano (ADA) price prediction that has excited the crypto community. Simultaneously, Everlodge (ELDG) - a new DeFi project, announced plans to integrate cutting-edge AI technology into its ecosystem. Because of this, many experts now believe that this rising presale star (now in Stage 8) can experience a 3,000% value growth in 2024. Keep on reading as we go over these developments in greater detail. How High Can Cardano Go? Ali Martinez's optimistic prediction has placed Cardano (ADA) in the spotlight, forecasting a potential surge in its value. Over the past month, the Cardano price has increased from $0.38 on November 9 to $0.62 on December 9. According to Martinez, Cardano may soar to $0.75 before the end of 2023. The Cardano crypto technical analysis backs this claim as it trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Moreover, this altcoin has experienced 17 green trading days out of the last 30. This is a noteworthy 57%, bolstered by a low price volatility of 7.31% during that time. If Cardano can maintain this uptrend, reaching $0.75 before the year ends may be plausible. That is why Cardano is a good altcoin to watch at the moment. Everlodge (ELDG): One Of The Best Crypto Coins The global hospitality industry was valued at $4.5T in 2022, and Everlodge (ELDG) plans to dominate it with its unique platform. It will create the first property marketplace to mint real-world properties into NFTs and then fractionalize them. As a result, you may become a fractional owner of a New York hotel on the blockchain and join the world's top 1% for a low price. The crypto community is also excited about Everlodge's AI integration. Notably, this AI-driven tool will monitor and scan property prices all over the globe. Using predictive algorithms can help you discover undervalued markets that could skyrocket soon. For example, if you used the tool two years ago, it would have pointed to Dubai as the next real estate hotspot. All this is powered by the ELDG native token, which is now in Stage 8 of its presale, costing only $0.027. Millions of tokens have been sold in just a few months as investors want to grab them before their value surges. With early buyers gaining 170% ROI, this fear is well-warranted. Holding it will also give you benefits such as discounts or passive income via staking. With Everlodge's innovation, it may become a fan-favorite for millions of people. Therefore, experts remain bullish as they forecast a surge to $0.038 before the presale ends. History shows us that a Tier-1 CEX listing could cause a 30x value growth for ELDG when it launches. With a limited-time 10% deposit bonus, those purchasing this DeFi token are now positioning themselves for tremendous returns. An Era of Anticipated Growth and Innovation As the crypto community anticipates the potential surge in Cardano's value fueled by Ali Martinez's prediction, Everlodge's integration of AI technology adds a layer of sophistication to real estate investment. It will add to your investment experience while also helping your decision-making. Thanks to its lower market cap of $14M, Everlodge may surpass Cardano, making it the best crypto to invest in.

News Release

Galaxy Fox's Stage 3 is Almost Sold-Out. Here's Why It’s So Hot

RoundHouse Media

Watching for boisterous early movers proved a reliable strategy for turning modest sums into huge crypto stacks in 2017 and 2021. Luckily for investors, 2024 will offer a repeat of the pattern, and finding these small-cap gems before they launch is a one-way ticket to netting 1000X returns in this cycle. Galaxy Fox ’s ( $GFOX ) stage 3 is about to sell out. Could it be one of these early movers and a top crypto to buy in 2023? Here’s what we know. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX): A New Generation of P2E Galaxy Fox is leading the next generation of play-to-earn tokens, and this unique hybrid has risen rapidly, establishing itself as a top crypto to invest in before the 2024 GameFi-driven bull market. One of the only tokens uniquely positioned to enjoy two narratives. Galaxy Fox’s viral aesthetic, micro-cap, and deflationary tokenomics put it in the memecoin race, and its runner game puts it on the GameFi stage. The team has purposely enhanced the protocol's viral nature, allowing the possibility of it mooning overnight. A highly novel introduction from Galaxy Fox is a protocol-level marketing budget. Marketing is the key component of success in a bull. Galaxy Fox routing 2% of buy and sell taxes to the protocol Treasury- responsible for funding community initiatives and marketing efforts- outlines a constant revenue stream for ecosystem expansion. Additionally, revenue generated by real-world merchandise feeds the Treasury. As marketing attracts more users, the Treasury will accrue greater revenue, and further efforts will draw in new users. This is how Galaxy Fox activates a powerful flywheel for acquiring users. This business sense naturally makes $GFOX one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy for people who understand marketing dynamics and the importance of new users. All users in the Galaxy Fox ecosystem can compete in its Web3 runner game. Those skilled enough to end the season in the top 20% will earn prizes exchangeable for $GFOX tokens- a top crypto to buy in 2023 for any users confident in their gaming abilities. But Galaxy Fox offers more earning opportunities and moves away from the classic play-to-earn model, which only rewards a small percentage of skilled players. Instead, everybody staking $GFOX earns. Investors earn residual income via Stargate – the protocol’s staking module. Stargate accrues 2% of all ecosystem transactions and distributes these among stakers.

Eat It, Drink It? Track It - Thrive Through the Holiday Season: Don't Wait for January to Begin Calorie Tracking

YourUpdateTV

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the temptation to put off our health goals until the new year. Recently, Registered Dietician, Maya Feller, conducted a satellite media tour to share some easy tips and tricks to enjoy the holiday cheer while sticking to healthy habits. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/b_Kh_o3jNI4 Holiday gatherings typically revolve around food and drink, and now it’s easier to stay on track with your health goals during the holidays while still partaking in all the fun. Tracking your food and drink intake with the free MyFitnessPal app is an easy way to keep an eye on how you’re tracking against your goals. How To Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season Tracking involves both quantity (calories) and quality (macros, which include protein, fat, and carbs) of what you eat. It can be difficult to make sure you are getting enough protein and fiber without tracking with a tool, like MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal’s food database contains over 18 million foods, so you’ll be able to find nutrition insights on whatever holiday treat you’re looking forward to eating. Go one-for-one. Consider matching a glass of water for each cocktail you enjoy. Alcohol, along with added sugars found in cocktails, can add up quickly - leading to dehydration, changes in blood sugar, and unwanted morning-after headaches if you’re not careful. Tracking with MyFitnessPal can provide insights into how much added sugar you’re eating - and drinking. Give yourself some grace; enjoying celebration meals does not mean you need to go into a cycle of restricting food intake and over-exercising as compensation. The foundation of your health is built on routines and what you do the majority of the time. Nourish your body throughout the day to take the charge out of the celebratory meal. Add plants (fruits and veggies) that are accessible, affordable, culturally relevant, and tasty to your routine. Adding these foods increases the nutrient density of your meals. If you want to finish the year off strong, MyFitnessPal can provide inspiration on making small daily changes that add up to big improvements over time. Whether inspiration for new recipes, or providing healthier holiday alternatives, the app is like having a nutritionist and support community in the palm of your hand, plus the insights can be very eye-opening.
